Status: offline 		actually super pooper is owned by Great Planes which owns duratrax which uses there stuff...but then again just becasue they own that engine brand doesnt mean they have to use that engine, Redcat doesnt own SH and they use them and Tamiya doesnt own OS or Ofna but they use there engines also this is just a stupid decision by the decision makers at durtrax.

Status: offline 		Might as well throw in my 2cents. Just a warhead that has some of the options that warhead owners do ,still needs the alloy shock towers so as in the spring adjust collars won't rub when it's lowered for racing. Raze st tires are ok for track bashing but low profile tires and wheels like proline LPR are better for racing.IMO better bearings would be nice And i hope the new servos are better than the old ones At least duratrax is listening to its customers somwhat and improving on the warhead a little .

Status: offline 		Ive never seen a warhead in person but I think I am going to try and go to a 4 shock set up, the wheels/tires might be OK on this one have to wait and see if not no big deal as they are 17mm.
As far as servos go ill probably drop a hitec or JR in there anyways seeing how Im just going to put my radio/rec in it.
And I havent been reading to much positive things on the engine so ill have see how that goes, might have to swap that out as well!!

As far as shocks go might try some genesis shocks (got 4 laying here!!LOL) if they dont seem to work Ive always wanted to try some rear jato shocks out on a MT!!

Status: offline 		i own two warheads as far as the truck ill plead the fifth But the engine i like. beleave it or not ,granted its no powerhouse and if tuned correct doesn't overheat The only time i had problems with overheating is if i tried to tune for performance the line between lean and fast and a little rich and normal is a fine line and IMO the super pooper likes it a LITTLE rich [little!!!]
